A campaign group calling for protest-free buffer zones to be introduced outside hospitals and clinics has said that national legislation is the only way to stop anti-abortion groups.
Back Off Scotland was among the organisations at an emergency summit on abortion care in Scotland chaired by Nicola Sturgeon on Monday.
Following the 'positive' meeting, the group has said that although interim measures will allow local authorities to curb the protestors, the rules must be implemented across Scotland to stamp out the harassment.
